Is the pushpull a coil tap?

No special order. The pushpull is a coil tap yes! Goddamn, I'm going to regret this! This Decade should last me for at least a few decades :/

I am interested though in how you think the humbucker sound compares with the single coils. Did you have the changes done or did you buy it as it is now?

iam Posted November 27, 2010 Author Posted November 27, 2010 I have added some pictures (from previous owner) They don't do the bass justice. The mahogany grain is superb!
EssentialTension Posted November 29, 2010 Posted November 29, 2010 These are great sounding basses. [url="http://www.lakland.com/ac_decade.htm"]There are sound samples here at Lakland[/url] - although single coils not humbuckers I think. Have a bump on me.

The bass is still here, make me an offer!
Kenny_K75 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Beautiful bass... way outta my price range... best of luck with the sale.
iam Posted December 3, 2010 Author Posted December 3, 2010 another Bump will consider selling it for 900£!!

But shipping is no problem. Also if you would consider cross over (I have had people crossing over from the UK before) I will give you a free guided tour of the beautiful city of Bruges!
Legion Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 [quote name='iam' post='1062323' date='Dec 18 2010, 11:21 AM']SOLD to Legion![/quote] It's true...I'm a bad man. Hopefully this will arrive intact and I can strap it together with my Tony Franklin, throw a knife into the middle and see who's the victor. Harsh I know, but just playing them and making the decision would be sooo much harder for me
EssentialTension Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 Oh I see, Jas, I didn't realise it was this one that you'd bought.

If all goes to plan I can give it a whirl at tonights rehearsal. J
